Comic Book Preview – Sleepy Hollow: The Witches of the Western Wood #1

Get set to revisit the world of Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow this week as IDW Publishing launches their comic book prequel series Sleepy Hollow: The Witches of the Western Wood. We’ve got the official preview of the first issue below so why not take a look?

Before Mary Van Tassel terrorized the town of Sleepy Hollow with the devilish Headless Horseman, she was Sarah Archer — a young girl trying to survive her witch of a mother. Sarah and her twin are raised in the wild Western Wood, taught the ways of witchcraft, and forced to endure abuse and neglect. But a chance encounter with the hellish Hessian at the moment of his beheading lights a fire in Sarah, giving her the power to overcome those who have wronged her and grow into a fearsome witch.

From Delilah Dawson and Jose Jaro comes the tale of Sarah Archer’s corruption and the Headless Horseman’s first ride.

Sleepy Hollow: The Witches of the Western Wood #1 is set to hit comic book shelves on Wednesday, May 6th 2026.
